VEN TILATED GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 2, 1918.

Application led January 17, 1918. Serial No. 212,284.

circulated from the outer to the inner sur` face of the garment or vice versa while the garment is in use without the admission of snow, rain or dust from the outer opening in the garment. A further object is to provide a garment, positively ventilated, that is neat and dressy in appearance. More specifically my invention contemplates a garment the garment-forming material of which 1s overlapped `at its points of ventilation and the ventilatin means being disposed between the over apped edges, spaced exterior and interior openings being formed along' the edges of the garment-forming material. With the foregoing and other ob]ects 1n view, the invention consists in the combina- 'tion and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification and in which- Figure 1 is a fragmentary view, in eleva` tion7 of a garment made according to one embodiment of my present invention.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on hne 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a cross section taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a cross section taken on l1ne 5 5 of Fig. 3. l

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary View of a garment illustrating the means of ventilatmg the same under the arm'.

Like reference characters denote corresponding arts throughout the several views.

The re erence numerals 1 and 2 denote two pieces of garment-forming material which may comprise the back or the side or other portion of a arment. The respectivel meeting edges of t e two pieces of material are overlapped, the edge 3 of piece 1 being disposed upon the inside or adjacent the body of the wearer and edge 4 of piece 2 upon the outside surface of the garment. The edges 3 and 4 are both folded inwardly or toward the pieces 2 and l respectively as clearly shown in Figs. 8 and 4. Between the strips 1 and 2 I interpose apiece of rubber tubing 5 which is formed with'oppositely disposed creases 6 and in said creased portions a plurality of perforations 7 are formed, said Itubing being pasted or otherwise secured to the said strips 1, 2 and said tubing being formed, further with a plurality of eyelet-receiving perforations disposed preferably in groups of three, said groups being spaced apart and disposed in alinement with similar eyelet-receiving perforations formed in the strip 1, all of said eyelet receiving perforations carrying the ventilating eyelets 8.

To the strips 1 and 2 at each side of the tubing 5 a tape lining 9 is secured, said lining being pasted direct to the strips 1 and 2 as well as to the tubing. Between the groups of eyelets 8 the pieces of tape lining at each side of the tubing 5 are tacked together or stitched, the tacking being denoted by reference numeral 1Q. Between the places l0 of tacking, that is laterally opposite Vthe eyelets 8, the strips 1, 2 are partially separated so that the perforated creased portions of the tubin 5 are clearly visible. Fig. 2 of the drawing permits a clear view of the tubing between the edges of the strips where those edges are not stitched together. With the garment in use fresh air will enter through the perforations 7 and eyelets 8 but it is obvious that dust, dirt, rain or snow cannot enter either through the said eyelets or between the strips 1, 2 due to the presence of the perforated tubing 5.

What is claimed is 1. A ventilated garment comprising two pieces of material having their meeting edges overlapped, said overlapped edges being stitched together in spaced portions, a perforated tubing disposed between said overlapped garment edges,` and Ventilating means connecting one of said garment edges and said perforated tubing.

2. A ventilated garment comprising tw pieces of material having their meeting edges overlapped, said overlapped edges being stitched together in spaced portions, a perforated tubing disposed between said overlapped garment edges, and Ventilating means connecting oneof said garment edges and said perforated tubing, said means being disposed between the stitched portions of said edges.

3. A ventilated garment comprising two pieces of material having their meeting edges overlapped, said overlapped edges being stitched together in spaced portions, a perforated tubing disposed between said overlapped garment edges, and eyelets connecting one of said garment edges and said perforated tubing.

4t, A ventilated garmentv comprising` two pieces of material having their meeting edges overlapped, said overlapped edges being stitched together in spaced portions, a doublyl creased tubing disposed between said overlapped garment edges and formed with perforations in said creased portions, and Ventilating means connecting one of said garment edges and said creased perorated tubing.

said garment edges and said creased perforated tubing, said Ventilating means being disposed in a plane at right angles tothe common plane of the creased perforated portions of said tubing.

lin testimonyf'that ll claim the `foregoing as my own l have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
